About this title

Synopsis:

Describes the role of women in the development of Kenya, Mali, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Jamaica

From Library Journal:

Presented here are eight case studies of projects where women have initiated and run unique enterprises which have made an impact in rural areas in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. No mere cottage industries, these enterprises have invaded such traditional male realms as construction, manufacturing, and transportation. The projects elevated the status of the women involved in their communities, and the women were able to invest their profits in health care, education, and other businesses. While not all of the projects were successful, nevertheless, they are heartening stories which are being repeated the world over. An interesting report for university and women's studies programs.
